John Roberts, in for Wolfie, is interviewing Zebari, the Iraqi Foreign Minister...and posted a quote by him that said something about how he is anxious to work with the Iranians..and how Iran has always been a HELP to Iraq.
Zebari said that he had seen that quote, and it was totally wrong...but that he says that he told Iran that he didn't want Iran to try to settle scores with the US by using the Iraqi war to do it.
Roberts is saying that he knows Zebari has a good relationship with Iran, so why doesn't he just tell them to stop.
Zebari said we do, all of the time...
Roberts reading that quote from the Iranian saying that peace will only come with withdrawal of American forces.
Zebari disagreeing of course...Roberts bringing up Congress' plan for a date certain.
Zebari said the of course there will be a time when US leaves..but not now. Some places in Iraq can be on their own, but not Baghdad..and any quick withdrawal would make things worse for the whole country.
